TLDR
In this article, the performance of double-heterostructure GaAs/AlxGa1−xs phase modulators with different doping profiles is systematically compared and the largest phase modulation of l.75rad/V mm at a wavelength of 1.09μm was obtained with an active layer doped at n=3 × 1017cm−3.
Abstract
The performance of double-heterostructure GaAs/AlxGa1−xs phase modulators with different doping profiles are systematically compared. The largest phase modulation of l.75rad/V mm at a wavelength of 1.09μm was obtained with an active layer doped at n=3 × 1017cm−3. However, an intrinsic active layer gives the lowest characteristic modulation energy needed for high-frequency modulation.
